chAladA hari


In this song, Annamaiah extols the greatness and power of chanting the name of Sri Hari, which removes all sorrows, washes away all sins, and liberates us from all bondages.

 chAladA hari nAma smara Namrutamu tamaku
chAladA hita vaina chavu lella nosaga ||

Chanting the name of Sri Hari bestows the nectar of happiness. It bestows beneficial tastes. Is it not enough for you?

C1
 idi yokaTi hari nAma mintaina chAladA
chedarakee janmamula cheralu viDipincha
madi nokaTe harinAma mintaina chAladA
padi vEla naraka koopamula veDalincha ||

 Hari's name liberates us from the bondage of the cycle of births and deaths. Is it not enough?Keeping Sri Hari's name in mind always relieves you from the agony of a thousand hells.Is it not enough?

C2
 kala dokaTi hari nAma kanakAdri chAladA
tolagu mani dAridrya dOshambu cheracha
teli vokaTi hari nama deepa madi chAladA
kalushampu kaThina cheekaTi pAra drOla ||

 Hari's name is a mountain of gold. It drives away the evils of poverty. Is it not enough? Hari's name is the lamp of knowledge that dispels the evils of bitter darkness. Is it not enough?.

C3
 tagu vEnkatESu keertana mokaTi chAladA
jagamulO kalpa bhoojambu vale nunDa
sogasi ee vibhuni dAsula karuNa chAladA
nagavu choopulanu vunnata mepuDu joopa ||

 Song in praise of Venkatesa is like the Kalpataru (wish fulfilling tree) in this world. Is it not enough? Lord Venkatesa's grace with cheerful looks always elevates you. Is it not enough?.
